Sprite's XiaoFang skin problem

I just purchased Sprite's XiaoFang but there seems to be a problem with the skin texture. All I get is a shiny golden material on the mesh.
Anyone else have this problem?

As I can load her with another skin, it looks like it is not me but the product itself.

    Are you loading via the character preset? Hae you tried aplying the materials from the suplied preset if so? Or vice versa, tried the character preset if you were originally applying mateials to a deault figure.

    Thing is that XiaoFang only comes with an IRay material file. All the others I purchased do come with a 'normal' skintexture file.
    Perhaps something is missing, or perhaps it's incomplete? I installed through Install Manager.

    I can start a render in Iray but it looks like a mannikin, not a human being.
    Strange...

    Ah, so this is in 3Delight? It wouldn't be the first set to have only Iray settings, and converting those to 3Delight isn't automatic - there are a couple of tools to help, including one script in the stoer and a free one in the forum.

    prod desc lists only iray presets.

    if rendering 3de can start by converting shaders to daz default, a daz default preset comes with the ds install.

    or copy a 3de preset from another 3de shader preset.  hold the shift key to not overwrite texture maps.

    Mystarra:
    I don't get a word of what you write. Please us real sentences instead of shorthand if you want to add something.
    To me

    • Textures Include:
      • 65 Texture, Bump, Displacement, Normal, and Transparency Maps (1024 x 1024 to 4096 x 4096)
    • Daz Studio Iray Material Presets (.DUF)

      Means two different entries. One that textures are included, two that IRay material prests are also included.

      ----------------------------

      This said:

      I went looking for what's available, and the texture is there. Yes. she does have a belly button.

      Looks like Sprite is a member of the neo-bigotry movement which denies a woman to even have the same right as men, namely: to have nipples..

      That's what confused me. I did not expect to purchase a barbie.

      No problem: I like the face and can add another texture if I like. In most of my scenes, she will be clothed anyways.

      --------------------------------------------------------

      My problem with Iray is that I need a new puter becuse this elderly gentleman cannot perform as it should.
      So XiaoFang ws my last purchase untill I have a new machine.

    Ohhhh just had a thought that you could also load a different skin with a 3DeLight preset for it then manually change out the texture ,bump ,displacement maps of xiaofang  then save that as a material preset so you don't have to do it again....

    Translation:

    • There are 65 maps
    • The material presets are for the Iray render engine.
